“It becomes challenging to summarize the experiences of the last two months. In my short time here in Indonesia I have met people and shared experiences that I won’t forget. I have a much stronger passion to continue learning about Indonesia, in graduate school and beyond. I have confirmed that this is a nation and culture that I find interesting, confusing, unique, and all I want to do is learn more. …You can know that I have fallen in love with Indonesia, so I will be back and I look forward to seeing you again.”
